Top 5 American Restaurant in Orange County

25001 Dana Point Harbor Dr #F120, Dana Point, CA 92629, United States

“This place is a traditional go-to for a typical brunch experience. While nothing too surprising, my friend and I had a good time. The wait was a little long, but not unbearable. If you're in the mood for a classic brunch outing, this spot is a reliable choice for a pleasant meal.”

240 W Chapman Ave Suite 101, Orange, CA 92866, United States

“Here we go: Cons: 1. A party of 2 that came in after us got sat before us because “they knew the host” we waited 45 to be seated. It was busy and then this happened. 2. Latte’s was small and didn’t taste that great. Stacks have much better lattes and much bigger Pros: 1. Server was polite and attentive 2. The food was jam packed with flavor 3. The coffee was strong and big serving 4. Good size portions (we had no leftover) 5. The side of bacon wins the highlight of this review. 6. Good vibes only and good old school ambiance Will come back to try another dish”

23811 Aliso Creek Rd STE 122, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677, United States

“Great place to get food. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. There could be a wait to order your food, but the line moves quickly.”

122 N Glassell St, Orange, CA 92866, United States

“Food score overall: 3/5 Calamari was pretty good- 4/5 Cesar salad with fresh ground pepper- 5/5 Filet mignon (medium) with roasted potato’s was ok, steak was overcooked and lacked flavor unless you used the sauce on the plate, potato’s were not cooked enough. 2/5 Espresso martini tasted like burnt espresso 1/5 Lemon drop was delicious 5/5 Service score overall: 4/5 Food runners were very confused but tried their best, lots of orders given to wrong people 3/5 Bartenders were pretty slow, only 1 guy mainly doing the work but only taking 1 order at a time. 2/5 Server was struggling, it was a big group, I get it. I don’t understand why they’d do 1 server for a group of 28 but she was def trying her best while being very pleasant. 3/5 Atmosphere overall score: 1/5 Inside was extra hot, it could be because of the open kitchen plus all the bodies but it was like a sauna inside. 1/5 I’m willing to give this place another shot, maybe it’s just not a good place for big groups.”

24701 Del Prado Ave, Dana Point, CA 92629, United States

“Very lively evening, and likely due to that, the service was a little slow. Had a few cocktails all around $15 a piece and some appetizers. Everything was good, but the oysters were tiny, as were the mussels. I should have taken a photo of …”

31752 Los Rios St, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, United States

”This was one of the best brunches I’ve had in years. The coffee cake had the perfect balance of sweet, tart, creamy, and crumbly. The crab hash was uniquely delicious! And the atmosphere and service were flawless. Definitely explore Los Rios Street! It has some charming shops and an old California character.”

1200 S Coast Hwy Suite 101, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, United States

”You have a wide range of options to choose from their wine menu. Cocktails are so good. ( “pay to play” is highly recommended) Burger is so juicy and delicious, it comes with a fresh thick cut fries that is so yummy! The location is amazing, they have both inside and outside tables and booths and also standing heaters beside the outdoor tables for cold seasons.”

1421 W MacArthur Blvd, Santa Ana, CA 92704, United States

”Absolutely delicious cooking at this restaurant. Food here is really flavorful and portions are big. My lawyer suggested we go here for a dinner and it was really great. The pan roasts were the star of the show. They are creamy, savory, delicious dishes.”

2740 Alton Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92606, United States

”This spot is a Cajun spice haven! The fries are a definite winner, but the fried oysters disappointed with excessive oil. Opted for the seafood combo – decent with just the right spice at medium. The star? Definitely those fries – a must-try!”

1547 W Katella Ave, Orange, CA 92867, United States

”This is going to be a mixed review. The service and atmosphere were great, but the food was less desirable for the price. Wife ordered the Szechuan stir fry, and it was amazing. I ordered the Cedar Farm PRIME Ribeye. Well, not so much. Don't get me wrong. It was cooked to my liking, but for the size cut of meat I paid for well, I was disappointed. Especially when you go to a steak house called " Prime Cut Cafe".”

3420 Via Oporto #101, Newport Beach, CA 92663, United States

”First time here at the restaurant and I was impressed by its beach vibes. The food was very good and the ingredients are fresh from local. The service was great. Overall I enjoyed the food and had a pleasant evening. After meal we took a walk around the beachfront it was really nice.”

1050 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92802, United States

”Flemings Steakhouse was fantastic. There wasn’t a dress code as is required at competitor Steakhouses. Our Waiter,Todd did an amazing job serving us, guiding us through our first time experience. Very knowledgeable of the menu. Gave us a great suggestion for dessert and gave us good tips for having a best first time experience in Anaheim. I have to say that Todd made our evening amazing with the way he served us. The entire staff worked as a team all were pleasant and friendly.Pricing was good and there were a lot of options on the menu in multiple price ranges. While my steak was tender, delicious and cooked to perfection, it would have been beautiful had it been garnished, anything to liven up the plate. We were a party of 2 and we spent $90/ person and I was worth it. Thank you for your great hospitality!”

23704 El Toro Rd, Lake Forest, CA 92630, United States

”The food was very greasy, bitter, and overcooked. The potatoes were combined with salad dressing and were completely soggy.”

1600 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802, United States

”This has by far been by favorite character dining experience at the Disneyland Resort. While you don’t get a picture like you do at Plaza, the characters do come around to the tables multiple times. The food wasn’t bad for it being a buffet, I enjoyed the pastries a lot. This is also inside the Grand Californian which means they offer a different assortment of adult beverages, which can be fun for the adults. Jamie, our waiter was amazing and was so kind. We were able to see Chip, Dale, Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto. I definitely suggest coming here and make sure to make a reservation .”

11200 Beach Blvd, Stanton, CA 90680, United States

”My husband proposed to me here back near the gardens in 2018. It holds such a special place in our hearts. We hope we get to come back soon. There have been zero updates. I randomly call the number to see if there’s any updates on the voicemail message. We drive by sometimes and there is still a sign that says coming soon. If there any update will you reply here? Thank you! We miss you!”

330 E 17th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627, United States

”12/8/2023 It's pricey but everything was really good. The vibe was dynamic with a busting bar to booths and tables for intimate dinners, just felt inclusive I guess. Our server was interesting, kind of a stern, I don't give a F attitude while still being attentive and giving good suggestions. I won't say my streak was the best I've ever had, but very good and tender. The sides were also good. Overall I can't afford to go there often but for a special occasion or when I want to splurge on a great steak, I would go back for sure.”

512 W 19th St, Costa Mesa, CA 92627, United States

”Costa Mesa restaurants are so competitive. It drives quality up and prices down. This establishment mirrors that sentiment. Dawn had the chicken. I had the short ribs. Both were absolutely fantastic. CBD infused cocktail had me tuned up for the concert after.”

26342 Oso Pkwy, Mission Viejo, CA 92691, United States

”One of the best meals I've had in a while. We started with the sauteed mushrooms. Best ever! They came in a light and delicious sauce with cheese and croutons. My entree was the short rib dinner with mashed potatoes and root vegetables. Delish! My friend had fish and chips and really enjoyed it. Sarah was our waitress. She's been there five years, knows the menu, best service, and is completely charming.”

1535 W Katella Ave, Orange, CA 92867, United States

”The food was really good, however quite pricey for the portions. For example, with the price they need more portions for sides the sides need to balance with the amount of meat that you get, besides the sides are the cheapest on the plate. I don't think the cornbread should be a side, it should complementary like when get dinner rolls or bread from the other restaurants. Because of the cost it will be awhile before we go back. Overall the meat was fabulous top notch. Also, it's very loud because of the acoustics and the tables are too small with all the plates and drinks I couldn't put my plate on the table all the way because there wasn't enough room!”

1133 Newport Center Dr, Newport Beach, CA 92660, United States

”Great Maple is a very popular restaurant tucked away in fashion island. We arrived within 10 minutes of opening and it was already packed. There is nice outdoor patio seating, indoor seating, and a huge bar area. Our waiter, Aldo, was amazing and attentive. The food tasted great and the menu had so many appealing options. I cannot wait to come back to try more food. Lively atmosphere and a great place for brunch”
